About Bravura Security Fabric

The Bravura Security Fabric is an integrated solution for identity and access management (IAM). It streamlines and secures the management of identities, security entitlements and credentials across systems and applications, on-premises and in the cloud. Organizations deploy the Bravura Security Fabric to strengthen controls, meet regulatory and audit requirements, improve IT service and reduce IT operating costs.

The Bravura Security Fabric is designed as IAM middleware in the sense that it presents a uniform user interface and a consolidated set of business processes to manage user objects, identity attributes, security rights and credentials across multiple systems and platforms.
